26 KENTWOOD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 KENTWOOD CLOSE sales between April 2000 and February 2008 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the August 2005 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the February 2008 sale, where it rises to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.
